[Nemesis]RaizQT's Immortal Dom.Blow Summoner build (1.1.1b UPDATED)

-Outstanding damage, 90 % of the time you dont even need to stop moving(except the times where you're dom.blowing ;)).Your minions kill everything while youre running past enemy mobs.

-Scales incredibly. Not much to explain here. The stronger the enemy the better your minions. Getting a storm herald in a 75+ map feels quite amazing especially when soloing.

-uncomperable survivabily.HUGE amount of life/life regen and the possibility of having multiple auras + the meat shield from your minions make You the ultimate shield when soloing or in a party.

-Super cheap. The only item you really require are Bones of ullr(1 chaos for perfect) for 3 specters. The rest of the gear is just pure defensive/aura gear which makes this build amazing for self found for the people who hate trading.

-Any map mod. There are no map mods that this build cannot do. The only problem you can run into is reflect maps which kill your spectres but that only makes the map slightly slower compared to your typical clear speed.

-Getting your spectres every time you log out/crash takes up a bit of time. But that will be fixed soon as stated by chris on reddit!

-Your character mostly relies on minions. This is quite typical for a summoner build but i would still say this build picks up REALLY fast once you find some mobs to kill. The fact that you can actually do damage with dom. blow even with a 1h is trully amazing. But for people who never played a summoner the 2-3 minutes getting spectres everytime something happens to them might be annoying.

-Terrible untill ~ lvl 50. No way around it. I'd say this build really picks up once you have the option of getting cruel undying evangelists. Before that its quite slow and i wouldnt recommend lvling with it.

Helm 4l - Minion life / Minion damage / Raise zombie / Minion elemental ressistance. (this is somewhat questionable thou. Some people prefer to use melee splash+ multistrike for your minions. For me making your zombies tanky is better than anything in this build. Sadly, zombies are quite slow and if you have 20+ minions they will simply never reach the target to actually hit it.

Weapon 1h 3s - vulnerability / Enfeeble / Devouring totem. (You can 3l this and use inc duration or increased aoe but i prefer devouring totem since i find it incredibly usefull in this league)

Gloves 4l - Vitality / Reduced mana / Purity of elements / Hatred. (This is your aura slot. I use hatred atm due to the fact that i prefer to have IR on my amulet instead of dex. For thoes who dont enjoy IR as much as i do i recommend a dex amulet + haste)

Boots 4l - Raise spectre / Faster casting / Minion damage / Increased AOE. (I recommend all of these gems to be 20% quality however it is not undoable without them. Some people use conc effect instead of increased AOE but to me that reduces your damage greatly in the big picture. Less mobs hit = less damage and due to the fact your spectres use "delayed blast" which makes them miss a lot if the aoe is not big enough)

Chest 5l - Dom. Blow / multistrike / Increased duration / melee splash / blood magic. (I REALLY recommend dom blow and increased duration to be 20% quality since it extends the life of your minions greatly. I also use a non linked rejuv totem here just because it helps with healing minions but thats very situational.

Shield 3l - Up untill this point i was using Cast when damage taken / molten shell / enduring cry BUT clearly that might not be the best option for this build as of now due to the nerf. Im experimenting with guardian and some other stuff but i just cant make up my mind. I'll keep you guys posted.

gloves/chest/shield : resists/life/armour

Helm : resists/life/ES/ + 2 minions ( + 2 is a MUST HAVE. The base has to be ES because you need 4b for your zombies unless you want to run multistrike + melee splash which i already disapproved above)

Boots : Bones of ullr (no other options here, aim for 15 % MS )
amulet/rings/gloves : high life/resists

belt : armor/life/ressists (You can use a rustic but it doesnt scale too well. Headhunter is also an option but i find the 20s timer just bad compared to my 100s dom blow minions, its a matter of preference)

chest : resists/life/armour ( astral plate preferably )

weapon : Highest dps 1h you can find. Attack speed is INCREDIBLY important here(even more than the damage) because it makes you very mobile. Often you will find yourself just hitting air with your multistrike if your weapon is too slow which can put you in a really bad spot in some situations. The greater the attack speed the more survivabily you have. If you cant afford a good weapon just use a brightbeak, they have great attack speed and ressistances. Unless your weapon has AMAZING dps you wont feel the difference anyway. Soul taker is obviously an option since then you can drop your bloodmagic gem and replace it with added fire which would also benefit your minions but i wouldnt never say its mandatory.

Make sure you get atleast 1% mana leech on an item ( ring/amulet/gloves )

(this will be updated everytime i get a good question)

Q : Which spectres to get?!
A : If youre just doing maps, undying evangelists for sure. The skill gems i listed and everything else in this build is specced for them. For farming piety, 2 evangelists + 1 miscreation. For phys reflect maps get flame sentinels if you hate it when you spectres die.

Q : Why did you spec out of double curse ?
A : I specced out of it because when doing maps its very clear to me which curse i need to use. Either i overpower my enemies completly and i use vulnerability or the mobs are giving me a hard time and i use enfeeble. In a party typically someone has double curse anyway so it only matters for soloing.

Q : What bandits ?
A : norm - oak / cruel - skill point / merc - skill point
